Condolences to the Family

Dear Shirley, Mark and Eric –
Sending our Condolences. So sorry to hear about Shuff’s passing. Shuff and Shirley were our wonderful neighbors many years ago. We lived in the rancher next to them. We have so many memories of them and their two sons. Chris would stop at Shuff’s house often to talk to him when he was out working in his yard. Time goes by so quickly.
Gale, Craig and Chris Booth

I will miss Shuff! We spend several years together in the Willow Street Jaycees.I saw him recently as we both were giving things to Main Street Closet. He was hoping Shirley would be able to return home. Prayers for his family and for the loss!
